Description
God Without Being by Jean-Luc Marion is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of God. Marion challenges traditional philosophy and theology by proposing that God, before all else, must be love rather than being itself. This concept, known as "God without Being," is rooted in Christian charity and love. Marion's work offers a contemporary perspective on the nature of God, engaging with key thinkers such as Heidegger. The book has been widely discussed and remains an important contribution to debates about the nature of God. A new preface by Marion and his 2003 essay on Thomas Aquinas are included in this second edition. This book is likely to be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy and religion, offering a challenging and rewarding read for those looking to engage with contemporary ideas about God.
